Characteristics of microbial community functional structure of a biological coking wastewater treatment system

Nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds are key pollutants in coking wastewater; however, the functional potential of microbial communities for biodegradation of such contaminants during biological treatment is still elusive. Herein, a high throughput functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) in combination with Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencing was used to compare and characterize the microbial community functional structure in a long run (500 days) bench scale bioreactor treating coking wastewater, with a control system treating synthetic wastewater. Despite the inhibitory toxic pollutants, GeoChip 5.0 detected almost all key functional gene (average 61,940 genes) categories in the coking wastewater sludge. With higher abundance, aromatic ring cleavage dioxygenase genes including multi ring1,2diox; one ring2,3diox; catechol represented significant functional potential for degradation of aromatic pollutants which was further confirmed by Illumina HiSeq2500 analysis results. Response ratio analysis revealed that three nitrogenous compound degrading genes- nbzA (nitro-aromatics), tdnB (aniline), and scnABC (thiocyanate) were unique for coking wastewater treatment, which might be strong cause to increase ammonia level during the aerobic process. Additionally, HiSeq2500 elucidated carbozole and isoquinoline degradation genes in the system. These findings expanded our understanding on functional potential of microbial communities to remove organic nitrogenous pollutants; hence it will be useful in optimization strategies for biological treatment of coking wastewater.     

柠檬酸及EDTA对土壤中六价铬的淋洗修复效果研究

主要研究柠檬酸和EDTA淋洗剂对六价铬污染土壤的淋洗修复效果,重点考察淋洗剂浓度、液固比、淋洗时间和淋洗方式对土壤六价铬去除效果的影响。研究结果表明：随着淋洗剂浓度的增加,柠檬酸淋洗剂对供试土壤六价铬的去除率逐渐升高,最高为54．0%,而EDTA淋洗剂对供试土壤的去除率先升高后降低,浓度在0．4 mol·L-1时达到最高,为66．3%;土壤六价铬去除率随液固比的增加呈现先升高后降低的趋势,当液固比为7：1时,0．5 mol·L-1柠檬酸和0．1 mol·L-1 EDTA淋洗剂对供试土壤六价铬的去除率最高,分别为69．6%和61．9%;增加淋洗时间,供试土壤六价铬的去除率逐渐升高,2 h后增幅不大;就清洗方式而言,EDTA淋洗剂一次加入对土壤六价铬的去除效果最好,而柠檬酸淋洗剂宜采用二次加入一次分离的方式。     

Characteristics of particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons emitted from industrial grade biomass boilers

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) are carcinogenic or mutagenic and are important toxic pollutants in the flue gas of boilers. Two industrial grade biomass boilers were selected to investigate the characteristics of particulate-bound PAHs: one biomass boiler retro-fitted from an oil boiler(BB1) and one specially designed(BB2) biomass boiler. One coal-fired boiler was also selected for comparison. By using a dilution tunnel system, particulate samples from boilers were collected and 10 PAH species were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(GC–MS). The total emission factors(EFs) of PAHs ranged from 0.0064 to0.0380 mg/kg, with an average of 0.0225 mg/kg, for the biomass boiler emission samples. The total PAH EFs for the tested coal-fired boiler were 1.8 times lower than the average value of the biomass boilers. The PAH diagnostic ratios for wood pellets and straw pellets were similar.The ratio of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene/[indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene + benzo(g,h,i)perylene] for the two biomass boilers was lower than those of the reference data for other burning devices, which can probably be used as an indicator to distinguish the emission of biomass boilers from that of industrial coal-fired boilers and residential stoves. The toxic potential of the emission from wood pellet burning was higher than that from straw pellet burning, however both of them were much lower than residential stove exhausts.     

蜂窝湿式静电除尘脱除燃煤细颗粒物实验研究

搭建了蜂窝湿式静电除尘实验台,研究了不同清灰方式下湿式静电除尘的放电特性、除尘效率、分级效率.结果发现,喷淋清灰方式对颗粒物脱除效率最高,溢流清灰方式其次.为了避免喷淋产生的水雾对除尘效率的不稳定影响,着重研究了溢流清灰方式下,湿式静电除尘器比收尘面积、运行电压、烟气初始浓度对除尘效率的影响.研究表明,提高比收尘面积和运行电压均可使除尘效率增加,通过观察颗粒物分级脱除效率发现,粒径段在0.5~1μm之间的颗粒物脱除效率较低.当烟气含尘浓度达到较高值(442.85 mg·m~(-3))时,除尘器仍可保持较高的除尘效率.

采集了漫湾库区和大朝山库区25个采样断面的沉积物样品.每个库区均从上游到下游分为河流区、过渡区和湖泊区,研究了沉积物中As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Mn、Ni、Pb、Zn元素的含量和赋存形态差异,利用次生相与原生相分布比值法(RSP)分析重金属元素的污染水平.结果表明,各库区从上游到下游沉积物中的重金属元素和碳氮元素均呈现出增加的趋势,而沉积物的中值粒径呈现出减小的趋势.漫湾库区的As、Cd、Zn元素平均含量均高于大朝山库区;大朝山库区的Cr、Mn、Ni、Pb元素平均含量均高于漫湾库区.在重金属赋存形态中,Cd和Mn元素以可交换态和残渣态为主;Cu、Pb以有机质态和残渣态为主;其余重金属元素均以残渣态为主.沉积物中的可交换态在有机碳的络合作用下转化成有机质态.在水坝建设的影响下沉积物中细颗粒和有机质含量明显上升,重金属在细颗粒物和有机质的共同作用下蓄积于坝前的沉积物中.PSR分析结果表明,在水坝运行影响下,各库区湖泊区和过渡区的污染水平均高于河流区.其中,Cd元素所有地区处于重度污染水平;Mn和Pb大部分区域处于中度污染水平;Cu元素大部分区域处于轻度污染水平;其余元素基本无污染.

采用GC-MS联用系统对三个兰州市典型湿地的沉积物生物标志物——正构烷烃的组成进行了测定,分析了湿地沉积物中正构烷烃组成特征并探讨了其指示的污染源信息。研究结果表明,兰州市湿地沉积物中正构烷烃主要存在高碳数组分奇偶优势显著的单峰型和低碳、高碳组分都有奇偶优势的双峰型两种分布形式;CPI指数分析表明兰州市湿地沉积物中正构烷烃贡献的高碳数部分来源于湿地周围的高等陆生植物,而低碳数部分来源于化石燃料残余。此外,研究发现采石场湿地和银滩湿地公园污染源效应较统一,而雁滩公园污染源受频繁人为活动影响而显示出明显的多元性。     

铀胁迫对5种牧草种子萌发的影响

为进一步探究放射性重金属铀污染环境对植物种子萌芽及生长所产生的迫害,根据我国铀矿冶废水中铀的质量浓度(5 mg/L)选择不同质量浓度(0、1 mg/L、5 mg/L、10 mg/L、15 mg/L、20 mg/L)的铀溶液进行试验,用以胁迫5种1年生牧草(三叶草、苜蓿草、黑麦草、高丹草和苏丹草)种子,同时观察记录各自的萌发状况(发芽数和第7 d幼苗生长长度),计算其发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数(GI)、活力指数(VI)及耐性指数,并与对照组进行量化指标比较。最后比较各牧草种子所受到的危害并做出评价。结果表明:对于不同程度的铀污染,多数植物表现为低质量浓度促进其种子萌发,高质量浓度则严重抑制甚至致死。对于三叶草、苜蓿草和黑麦草种子,低质量浓度(1 mg/L)铀溶液促进种子的萌发,质量浓度升高则为抑制,其中黑麦草表现稍异常,质量浓度为5 mg/L时对种子萌发有促进作用,使最终发芽率较对照提升14%;对于高丹草,低质量浓度(5 mg/L)时促进种子萌发,而在质量浓度稍低于或超过5 mg/L时表现出明显的抑制现象,各指标低于对照13%左右;苏丹草则仅呈现抑制现象,铀质量浓度为5mg/L时抑制现象稍轻,最终发芽率较对照组仅降4%,小于或大于5mg/L时均受抑制,且质量浓度越高抑制现象越明显,最终发芽率最高仅28%。     

有机与常规种植稻麦品质的比较研究

目前关于有机与常规耕作方式对水稻、小麦品质差异的影响研究较少。在太湖流域进行有机和常规种植方式下稻麦轮作田间试验,分析比较有机和常规水稻、小麦的营养品质和安全品质。其中,营养品质包括4种蛋白质、8种必需氨基酸、10种非必需氨基酸、矿质元素、维生素和黄酮类化合物,安全品质包括7种重金属和硝酸盐等。结果表明:有机水稻和小麦籽粒中蛋白质含量均显著低于常规种植方式(P0.05),除胱氨酸、天冬氨酸、色氨酸、蛋氨酸以及小麦籽粒中苏氨酸外,有机稻麦籽粒中必需氨基酸和非必需氨基酸含量均显著低于常规种植方式(P0.05);有机水稻籽粒中Cr、As含量和有机小麦籽粒中Cu、Cd、Zn含量均显著低于常规稻麦(P0.05),特别是有机水稻籽粒中Cr、As含量分别比常规种植方式低42.41%和52.78%,有机小麦籽粒中Cd、Cu含量分别比常规种植方式低50.00%和18.42%。有机水稻、小麦籽粒中总黄酮含量高于常规稻麦,而有机水稻籽粒中硝酸盐含量则显著低于常规水稻(P0.05)。以上结果表明与常规种植方式相比,有机种植方式能够显著提高稻麦的安全品质,但在营养品质上存在差异性。
